In partnership with
Frontier models perform better in Attio’s agent harness.
We gave GPT-6 Astra the same job twice: analyze 100 sales calls and draft the follow-ups, once in Ask Attio and once in ChatGPT.
Ask Attio finished in 4 minutes 49 seconds. ChatGPT took 26 minutes 11 seconds, about 5.4 times as long.
The most ambitious GTM work requires more than frontier intelligence. It requires architecture that can put that intelligence to work at scale.
Thursday night, November 12, 2026 — a little music, a little television, and a reminder that quiet courage once wore a hometown smile.

When “Our House” Turned a British Spark Into an American Living Room Classic
Forty-four years ago, Madness released “Our House,” and for a lot of us it still feels like opening the front door on a regular weeknight—shoes by the entryway, the radio humming, and the familiar bustle of family life. The song didn’t need fancy tricks. It just painted a picture, and that picture had heart: the everyday kind, the kind you build by showing up for dinner and laughing at the same old stories.
According to the story, “Our House” started as a rough idea in rehearsal and grew into something that finally broke big in America. There’s always been that “one-hit wonder” label floating around it, especially with VH1’s lists, though fans will tell you Madness had more in the tank than the title suggests. Still, there’s no denying this one landed in a special way—like a snapshot of ordinary life back when ordinary life was something you were proud of.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: I’ve always liked that “Our House” doesn’t sneer at family life—it celebrates it, noise and all. In a time when so much entertainment tries to be edgy just to prove it can, a simple song about home feels almost brave. If we want stronger communities, we could start by treating the word “home” like it means something again.
Max Baer Jr. and the Hard Truth Behind a Lighthearted Old Sitcom Memory
Max Baer Jr. will always be Jethro to many of us—the big-hearted kid from The Beverly Hillbillies who could make a living room laugh without breaking a sweat. But real life has a way of pulling back the curtain, and the piece looks at how a painful divorce in 1971 hit Baer hard, costing him far more than people realized at the time.
Years later, he explained why he never had children after his only marriage, and you can hear a man speaking from experience, not from bitterness. It’s sobering, because we’re used to thinking of those old sitcom folks as living in a permanent rerun: always smiling, always fine by the next episode. The truth is, even when America felt steadier, private heartbreak still happened—and sometimes it changed the whole course of a person’s life.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: I’ve got sympathy for anyone who goes through a divorce that leaves scars, and I respect the honesty it takes to talk about it without turning it into a show. The older I get, the more I believe family is the greatest wealth there is, and it’s worth protecting with everything you’ve got. If there’s a lesson here, it’s to treat marriage like the serious vow it is, and to keep your loved ones closer than your pride.

Jimmy Stewart’s Second Act: The Movie Star Who Chose the Hard Way When His Country Called
Jimmy Stewart had the kind of face America trusted and the kind of voice that could calm a room, but what he did away from the camera is what really earns your respect. The story walks through his military career—how he stepped away from Hollywood to serve in World War II, flew dangerous missions, and kept going until he eventually retired from the Air Force Reserve as a brigadier general.
It’s easy now to forget what it meant when well-known Americans put on a uniform and did the same hard jobs as everyone else. Stewart didn’t just lend his name—he carried the weight, accepted the risk, and lived with the responsibility. In that old-fashioned way, he proved that fame is no excuse to sit out the duties of citizenship.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: Jimmy Stewart reminds me of a time when honor wasn’t a slogan—it was a standard. We could use more public figures who understand that love of country is something you demonstrate, not something you market. And for the rest of us, his example is a gentle nudge to serve where we are, with the same steady decency.
That’s the evening’s trip back, friends. Keep a little music in the house, hold your family close, and remember that the best parts of America have always lived in ordinary homes and quiet acts of courage. See you tomorrow night.
